Twisted right knee, December 14, 1980. The injury occurred during an optional workout at the Motnreal Forum. "I was pokechecking the puck away from Pierre Larouche and it twisted. I'll see he doctor tomorrow, but I don't want to get out of the lineup," said Sevigny.

Suffered fractured left (glove) hand, January 7, 1982. A routine shot by Keith Acton in practice caused the injury, according to the goaltender: "I thought something was hurt when I caught the shot by Acton. If it had been a shooting drill, when I would have a lot of shots, I might have asked for time out. But in a scrimmage like that I might not get another shot for 10 or 15 minutes so I didn't say anything. I just had a warm feeling in my hand. As soon as I caught the [subsequent] shot from [Brian] Engblom, I knew something was wrong. That's when I called [trainer] Yvon [Belanger]. He said get off the rink. The doctor told me that it is a funny faracture. This is a rough start for '82, I guess."

Suffered leg bruise, January 2, 1982. Early in the second period, Sevigny left the game after a goalmouth collision with Rangers' Ron Duguay. Duguay crashed into Sevigny and took him into the boards after the goaltender came out to make a save. "I got a skate on the back of the leg. At first I was afraid that I was cut," said Sevigny. Mmark Pavelich scored into an empty net, and Sevigny was replaced by Rick Wamsley.

MISCELLANEOUS:

Ejected from Montreal's game against Vancouver, March 31, 1981. 9:20 in to the game, Vancouver's Dave "Tiger" Williams crosschecked Sevigny as he skated by the Canadiens crease, knocking the goaltender down. As the play developed in the corner to Sevigny's left, defenceman Guy Lapointe and Sevigny both went after Williams. Sevigny received a minor penalty for leaving his crease, a ten-minute misconduct, and a game misconduct for being the third man into the fight. Denis Herron finished the win for Montreal. On December 18th, Williams made insulting remarks about French Canadiens in Vancouver newspapers, saying that everyone from Quebec are "frogs".

DID YOU KNOW?

Richard's name appears on the 1979 Stanley Cup as a member of the champion Montreal Canadiens, as he was a spare goaltender who dressed in the Finals. As such, he managed to win the Stanley Cup prior to playing in his first National Hockey League contest.

Despite not playing in the contest, Sevigny accrued fifteen penalty minutes in the Canadiens' April 20, 1984 playoff game against Quebec. Sevigny fought fellow backup Clint Malarchuk at the end of the second period, and was ejected to start the third period.

At the conclusion of Montreal's Eastern Conference Finals game against the New York Islanders, Richard accrued seventeen minutes in penalties for an altercation with Billy Smith of the Islanders. Sevigny was the backup goaltender for the game.

On January 11, 1985, Sevigny stopped nineteen shots as the Quebec Nordiques shut out the visiting Calgary Flames, 4-0. This broke Calgary's 264-game National Hockey League record streak of consecutive games without being shut out. Sevigny only got the start because Dan Bouchard was injured, and Mario Gosselin was out with the flu. "I consider myself lucky to play tonight," said Sevigny. "It's probably because Mario caught the flu from me."

I am always looking for assistance in making these more accurate, and welcome your help. For the 1983-84 season and prior, one of my key sources was the Hockey Summary Project, a tremendous resource and one of the best data collections on the Internet. In return, I have attempted to make these data better where possible.
